What exactly is going on with the white spots on the glans?

Many people are embarrassed when talking about many topics, especially when talking about private issues with female and male friends. White spots on the glans are a relatively shy thing for many male friends, and many people are afraid of being laughed at. However, for this disease, the methods we have collected alone cannot cure it, not to mention that there are many types of glans inflammation. So what is the reason for white spots on the glans?

White spots on the glans may be caused by glansitis. Inflammation of the glans mucosa is called glansitis, which can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation and other factors. Usually, glansitis refers to inflammation of the inner plate of the foreskin and the glans penis. A lipid substance secreted in the normal foreskin cavity can accumulate into smegma to irritate the foreskin and glans penis when the foreskin is too long or phimosis occurs, causing glansitis.

Balanitis can be clinically divided into the following types:

1. Acute superficial balanoposthitis: At the onset, local flushing, redness and swelling of the penis skin, and burning and itching sensation in the glans. When the foreskin is turned back, the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans can be seen to be congested and eroded, with exudate and even bleeding. After secondary infection, small ulcers can be seen, with foul-smelling milky white purulent secretions. If it rubs against underwear, it will be painful, and the patient often has difficulty in moving. It may be accompanied by enlargement and tenderness of the inguinal lymph nodes.

2. Candida albicans balanitis: Erythema can be seen on the foreskin and glans, with a smooth surface and small blisters. The edges of the erythema are clear, and there are erosions and exudates during acute attacks.

3. Trichomonas balanoposthitis: papules and erythema appear on the glans, gradually expanding with clear edges. Small blisters the size of a needle can be seen on the erythema, and finally an erosive surface is formed.

4. Annular ulcerated balanoposthitis: Erythema can be seen on the glans and foreskin, which gradually expands and becomes ring-shaped, and may form superficial ulcers.

Now there are many ways to help us understand these diseases. We can use the Internet, videos and other methods. Everyone should remember what I introduce here, and everyone must find the cause of the disease and treat it accordingly.
